Ok, so this little story was just so, so good. I love Buffy's running commentary as she watches the young Slayers on their first "solo" hunt - like being able to watch a movie in the privacy of your own home and giving advice the characters on TV. I love the fact that Giles is up there on the balcony, mirroring their meeting at the Bronze in "Welcome to the Hellmouth". And I love Giles just being Giles, observing Buffy observing the group of Slayers.
Of course, there is the cute turn the story takes when we find out that there are two different anniversaries, they are celebrating that evening: their ten year as partners and their three week as lovers... and it is very endearing that it is Giles who is keeping count of their time together as a couple.
Very in character. Great dialogue. And of course, you got the prompt in two different times and it original ways, so bravo! You should get extra points for that. :)
